[Eug-lug] IT Pro Forum meeting tonight

[Ben Barrett]

Thanks John.  I've been doing some work with siteground.com
and have been pleased... there is some funky fine-print that really
annoyed me, about IMAP box limitations, and the storage limits
have a detailed breakdown by content type, but it works really well
and although they don't do phone support (budget!) they're quite
responsive via their ticket system (which I have minor qualms with, fwiw).
Anyone have any bad news about siteground?
